htaccess redirect with exceptions

I work on a Wordpress Network. Let's say that the main site has the link www.main-site-old.com, and all the other sites in this network have links like www.main-site-old.com/site1 , www.main-site-old.com/site2 e.t.c.

I want to redirect ONLY the main site to a new domain (let's say www.main-site-new.com) and let all the others stay as they are.

I tried this one:

Redirect 301 / http://www.main-site-new.com/

but it redirects the whole domain (for example it redirects www.main-site-old.com/site1 to www.main-site-new.com/site1)

I also tried:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/site1
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://main-site-new.com/$0 [R=301,L]

but nothing happened.

With mod_alias redirect you will not be able to use regex to capture a request for http://www.main-site-old.com only so, you could use another one RedirectMatch like this :

RedirectMatch 301 ^/?$ http://www.main-site-new.com

Or go to mod_rewrite by this :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?$   http://www.main-site-new.com [R=301,L]

Note: clear browser cache then test.
